Florida Everglades
Why Visit, What To Do
The Everglades are the largest remaining subtropical wilderness in the continental United States.
Florida’s premier wildlife preserve is Everglades National Park, the second-largest national park in the contiguous United States (after Yellowstone).

Thanks to the popularity of Everglades National Park, many people believe the park is THE Everglades.
Unfortunately, it is not. Everglades National Park (1.5 million acres) and the adjoining Big Cypress National Preserve (716,000 acres) protect only about 20% of the huge area the Indians called Pahayokee,or “grassy waters.”
Over a million people a year visit Everglades National Park to see the profusion of bird and animal life that is America’s equivalent of an African big game safari.
Many animals are so accustomed to seeing three-eyed humans (that third eye being a camera lens) you will be able to approach them quite closely.
Everglades National Park is divided into 3 geographically diverse sections.
The most famous is the one closest to Miami, the Homestead section.
